GSM or LGBT?

iamabutchsolo:

GSM stands for Gender & Sexuality Minority

I prefer it to LGBT because GSM is more inclusive

Basically any gender or sexuality that isn’t considered heteronormative could go under GSM. As well as lgbt the following genders/sexualities could go under GSM.

This is not a limit just all i can think of so far. Any others let me know.

  • Intersex
  • Genderqueer
  • Genderfuck
  • Genderless
  • Bigender
  • Third gender
  • Pangender
  • Androgynous
  • Asexual
  • Demisexual
  • Polysexual
  • Polyamorous
  • Pomosexual
  • Pansexual

Oh hello, this is super cool! I do believe I will try to use “GSM” more from now on.

Um, should intersex be on this list? Since it’s not a gender or a sexuality…

Intersex people among my followers, thoughts on this? Help me out?

But other than that, I like this a lot.
